Perogies

Some recipe uses sour cream/oil/butter, I have tried sour cream and butter only and I find the butter version to be easier
to roll and does not shrink too much after you roll it and it's a better texture when cooked. 2 lbs potato = ~60 perogies

Ingredients

5 cup (710g)

all-pourpose flour

½ cup (128g)

unsalted butter

½ tsp. (4g)

Kneed for 5 minutes. Divide dough into 4 and wrap each with saran wrap and allow it to rest for 30 minutes. 3⅛" round cutter used.

How to Cook Perogies

Bring a pot of water with 1 tsp. oil and ½ tsp. salt to a boil.

Boil perogies either fresh or from frozen until it floats to top.

Scoop out the perogies and pan fry on medium heat with a little butter until brown on both sides.
